When we delete a service item in tipc_nametbl_stop() we loop over all service ranges in the service's RB tree, and for each service range we loop over its pertaining publications while calling tipc_service_remove_publ() for each of them. However, tipc_service_remove_publ() has the side effect that it also removes the comprising service range item when there are no publications left. This leads to a "use-after-free" access when the inner loop continues to the next iteration, since the range item holding the list we are looping no longer exists. We fix this by moving the delete of the service range item outside the said function. Instead, we now let the two functions calling it test if the list is empty and perform the removal when that is the case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
